This is a review of recent developments in hadron structure within the framework of Lattice QCD. The main focus is on recent achievements in the evaluation of nucleon quantities, such as the axial charge, electromagnetic form factors, the Dirac and Pauli radii, the quark momentum fraction and the spin content of the nucleon, in view of simulations at pion masses very close to their physical value. A discussion of the systematic uncertainties and the computation of the disconnected contributions using dynamical simulations is also included. Results emerging the propetries of particles other than the nucleon are summarized, highlighting selected hyperon and meson form factors.
